The world was like shell to me-
Its voice with distant song was low;
But now its mysteries know;

Its reckless meaning have found.

Tribulations ofa Bride.

Every woman who has been bride
will sympathize with the sorrows of a
young lady who was married in
Omaha few days ago. She had al
most reached the church when it was
discovered that she had forgotten her
bridal veil in her nervousness and
haste. She went back after il. On
the way back she sneezed and split
her satin bodice from bt Ii 10 shoul-
der. The carriage stopped ai shop
needle and thread were procured, and
the rent repaired. AS she stepped
from the carriage the lace bottom OF
an underskirt caught and the button
at the waist gave way. In conse-
quence the skirt began to slip as she
walked up the church aisle. every eye,
of course, bent on her with coldly
look. With her disengaged hand she
clutched desperately at the slipping
garment, managing to hold it through
the side of her dress until the cere.
mony was over and she was once
more In the carriage. Her next en-,
tirely natural act was to fling hel
arms about the panic stricken groom's
neck and give way to torrent ol
tears the reason for which she die
not then impart.

Newspaper Advertising.

"John Wannamaker, the Philadel-
phla merchant" says the Times OF
that city, recently spoke as follows
about advertising: L never in my
life used such a thing as a poster,
dodger or handbill. My plan for fif-
teen years has been to buy so much
space In a newspaper and fill If up
with what / wanted. 1 would not
give an advertisement In a newspaper
OF 400 circulation for 5000 handbills
or posters. Ii / wanted to sell cheap
iewelry or run a lottery scheme /
might use posters, but would not in
suit a decent reading public with
handbills. The class OF people who
read such things are poor material
to look to for support in mercantile
affairs. 1 deal directly with the pub
Usher. l say to him: How long will
you let me run a column of matter
in your paper for 500 or $500, as the
case may be? / let him do the fig

the copy. / lay aside the profits of a

The GanlUt Of Theft.

Editor Mirror.
The following clever table appeared in the
Washington Post long time ago. 1t is appropri-
ately called the 'Gamut of Theft and it explains
itself;
Taking SlO0O.00O is called genius; 800, 600 is
called shortage 5000 is called litigation; 50 ZOO
is called insolvency; $4,000 is called irreguarlty;
5000 is called defalcation; $1,000 is called cor
rupt on $500 is called embezzement; 500 is called
dishonesty; $40 is called stealing; S25 is called
total depravity; taking ham psir of pants,
making war society,"
Let us add a few fashionable penalties for these
crimes: Genius, palatial residence Montreal;
shortage, registration and the sympathy of the di-
rectOrs; litigation. trial and whack-up
with your lawyers; insolvency, settlement for
twenty-five cents on the dollar; irregularity. an
immediate requisition your bondsmen; embez-
element, quiet trip to Europe with a fast woman;
dishonesty, three years in state prison; stealing,
five years in state prison; total depravity eight
years in state prison: society, fifteen years
in penitentiary.

and naked thief hope that he will quit make
ing war on society and become respectable men,
